CLASS HISTORY After twelve years of mental labor we have finally reached our goal. As we near the end, we hardly know if we are happy that our school days are nearly over. Each year we looked with longing at the other graduates. Now it is our turn. After Commencement each graduate will go his own way. We must part with our loved classmates. In 1936 we entered high school as twentyhsix green Freshw men. 'We felt more important as high school students. At in- itiation the Sophomores made it known that they were more im- portant. As Freshmen we presented the one-act play entitled uHe Ain't Done Right By Nellu. We chose as our class colors pink and silver, and rosebuds were chosen for the class flowen We were guided through our first year by Margery Amos, Presi- dent: Ray Krout, Vice President: Thelma Vollmar, Secretary, Sarah Ellen Porter, Treasurer: and Miss Elliot, Sponsor. In 1937 we came back to school a little more confident. We were now Sophomores. With the addition of two new students, Ann Williams and Lela Matheny, our class increased to twentyb eight. At initiation we exercised our power over the new Fresh- men. We elected as class officers, Lela Matheny, President: Odessa Vollmar. Vice Presidentg Sarah Ellen Porter, Secretary- Treasurerg and Miss Martin, Sponsor. In 1938, with the loss of five members and the addition of Lorin and Mary Ellen Hicks, we entered 'T.H.S.U as twenty-five. Juniors. An important event of this year was the choosing of our class rings. We honored the Seniors by giving them a Junior-Senior Banquet. We also participated in commencemexmt and baccalaureate. We presented two one-act plays entitled uWhiskersn and NKidnapping Bettyu. Under the guidance of Agnes Ballard, Presidentg Odessa Vollmar, Vice President: Ann Wil- liams, Secretary-Treasurerg and Mr. Smith, Sponsor, we com- pleted our third year of High School. 1939 brought the realization of our dreams. School-life was nearly over for us. It was our turn at last. With the loss of two more members and the addition of Lucille Yates, our class included twentywfour Seniors. We presented the three-act play entitled WThat Crazy Smith Familyn on May 1. Students of our class have won several honors. We have had several good athletes. A large number of the girls in our class have par- ticipated in winning Glee Clubs. Several of our students have been on the honor roll each year. We also gave a dance fear turing the nSmith's Tennesseansn, in our new gymnasium. We spent much time deciding on our name cards, invitations, and commencement dresses. This year we were the honored guests at commencement, baccalaureate, and the banquet. We were guided through our last year with Mary Helen Vol- lmar, President: Charlotte Pauff, Vice President: Odessa Vol- lmar, Secretary: Junior Eckhart, Treasurer, and Mr. Smith, Sponsor.
